In line with the goal to have quarterly releases, OpenText has released Content Manager 24.4 this month. The 4th quarter release has the added value of having the longest support duration (3 years - November 2027).  If the upgrade process is a challenge, the 4th quarter release should be your targeted upgrade version. If you are looking to focus your team on the records and information governance, leave the upgrades to us by migrating to the Information First MSaaS. For more information on the latest release, take a look at the updated comparison chart.
